PML-Q top leader and senior Federal Minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi criticised Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) for ransacking the Supreme Court (SC) and for creating misunderstandings among institutions.
“N-League thrives on conflicts between institutions and has been at logger heads sometimes with the army and at other times with the judiciary. Shahbaz master-minded the Supreme Court (SC) attack in 1997. Those who participated in the SC attack were informed that a scrumptious lunch awaited them at the end of their heroic adventure,” he added.
He said jumping and singing on stage will neither solve public problems nor make anyone a leader. “We provided residential colonies to journalists, which is now the target of N-League’s land mafia,” he added. Pervaiz Elahi said he took practical steps for the betterment of journalists during his time as the chief minister. “As opposed to doling out plots to a handful, we launched journalists’ colonies in Lahore, Rawalpindi and Multan where members of the media fraternity were given plots across the board,” he said.
He further said that five utility stores were opened in press clubs of the country’s seven big cities to provide maximum facilities to journalists. He said journalists’ housing colonies were established under a provincial act by his government with the objective of providing constitutional and legal protection to journalists. “I do not believe in hollow slogans,” he said. Pervaiz Elahi said the people of Punjab were unclear on the fact that his government’s performance was better than N-League’s government.
He claimed that N-League’s history was writ large with conspiracies and intrigues against institutions, adding that Nawaz’s party is now facing political isolation.
